Feb. 2 2022: Animals

We inherited 2 cats with the property. We call them Cat 1 and Cat 2. They are big, healthy boys, rather feral, and had been abandoned by the previous owner. They are fixed, so we figure they came from the local humane society. I have no idea how old they are, but would guess 4-5 years. I set them up with a cozy home in the greenhouse/chicken coop. The greenhouse gets up to 70 degrees during the day, and hasn’t frozen yet at night, even though it is below 0. Cat 1 will now deign to be petted occasionally and loves to tease Clair. Cat 2 is very shy, but loves to sleep on the bags of soil in the greenhouse. They are why we don’t have any mice. They are not allowed in the house.

Clair, on the other hand, rules the house. Her fav spots are in front of the fire or on our bed. It is not a democratic society here among the animals.
